"Anne was the missing piece and link to our birthing experience and journey as our doula! I know without a doubt that I would not have been able to have the positive birthing experience I had without the support of Anne and her support, presence and calming energy! After our experience, my husband and I both commented to each other that we have no idea how any woman can birth without the support of a doula! We intend to have the same support with future births and will continue to encourage everyone we know to seek out the same, and highly recommend Anne!"

"Anne was an invaluable resource and encouragement for us as we waded through the pregnancy and birth - two things I knew nothing about and had always feared greatly. She was very empowering and reassuring, always available and very professional. I knew when she drove through a severe hail storm to meet with us the first time she was dedicated! She helped me to be confident about scary and difficult decisions we needed to make during the birth when it ended up going very differently than we had planned. I was determined to go all natural but it ended in emergency C-section after 50+ hours of labor that simply was not progressing. She took beautiful photos of our first "moments" in the O.R. that we discovered days later; they mean more to me than anything because I felt so deprived those moments having been so drugged and exhausted, but Anne redeemed them for us and now I have them "on film" to cherish forever!"

"Anne was an integral part of my homebirth team. From my first prenatal with her, I felt as though she really cared about helping me get the birth I desired. She listened to my fears and helped me confront them with research and reassurance. The day of my daughter’s birth, she was prepared with massage, aromatherapy, and even music, but it turned out what I needed the most was the pressure of her hand at the small of my back and her encouraging words. Afterwards, she gave me her notes of the birth. It included details I may not have otherwise remembered. What a precious keepsake!"

"My husband and I felt that Anne played an important role in our birth experience. As first time parents, Anne gave us the confidence and support we needed during delivery. We also enjoyed the prenatal visits and assistance in creating a birth plan."

"My husband and I were so excited to sign up for Hypnobabies. We originally were set up to take our class with an instructor who is a friend of mine. However, her schedule got switched around and we were unable to take the class with her. With that, we set up our class with Anne. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Anne is a gentle-spirited, birth-loving, compassionate person and her class was overwhelming evident of this. She lives and breathes all things birthing and this gave me the ability to make me feel so comfortable and confident with the birth process. I enjoyed going to her class and look forward to having another baby so we can take her class again! Not only is she an awesome instructor, but also Anne encapsulated my placenta for me. She came to the hospital to pick it up and also to drop it back off. She is such a genuine person. I am glad to have her as an “everything birth related” resource."
